* WHEN...For the Freeze Warning, from 1 AM to 9 AM MDT 
  Wednesday. For the Wind Advisory, until 11 PM MDT this evening.

* IMPACTS...Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects. 
  Tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may 
  result. Frost and freeze conditions will kill crops, other 
  sensitive vegetation and possibly damage unprotected outdoor 
  plumbing.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Blowing dust may reduce driving visibility
  during period of strongest winds. Drive with extra caution in
  these conditions. Very choppy waves are expected on area
  waterways; boaters should also exercise caution or get off the 
  water.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Use extra caution when driving, especially if operating a high
profile vehicle. Secure outdoor objects.

Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. To prevent
freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should
be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have
in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-
ground pipes to protect them from freezing.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Pocatello, ID wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Sep 6, 1:30 PM MDT, 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 6, 1:30 PM MDT, 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Pocatello ID
130 PM MDT Sun Sep 6 2020

.SHORT TERM...Tonight through Tuesday night.

Quite a bit of smoke across central and east Idaho this afternoon.
Some of this smoke may clear out early this evening. However, the
HRRR shows a strong plume of smoke moving into east Idaho from fires
in the western central mountains later this evening and overnight. A
lake wind advisory for the American Falls Reservoir remains in
effect into this evening with winds expected to decrease overnight.
Big changes arrive for Monday in the form of a strong cold front.
Ahead of the front, we expect breezy west/southwesterly winds to
develop. These winds will be strong enough to reach wind advisory
levels. Then around mid afternoon the cold front will push through
central and eastern Idaho from the north. Winds will switch to a
northerly component and become very strong immediately behind the
front. 3km NAM model soundings shows +50kts in the 2000-3000ft layer
during the late afternoon and evening across the Snake Plain.
Although the sustained winds may hold in the advisory level of 30-
35kts, think there may be a short period as the front spills over
the continental divide and into the Snake Plain that we could tap
into the +50kt layer and bring those winds down to the surface in
the form of gusts. Also, unique is the wind direction, being
northerly. Strong north winds are rare across eastern Idaho. There
is some concern that trees may be more susceptible to strong
northerly winds as opposed to the typical westerly or southwesterly
winds. For those reason, we will upgrade the high wind watch to a
high wind warning for much of the Snake Plain up to Dubois. Around
the high wind warning area, indications are that the northerly winds
may be a little less robust, so will encompass the warning area with
an advisory. Expect a few light showers to accompany the front as
snow levels fall from 12000 feet around midday on Monday to 6000
feet by evening. Snow amounts across central and east Idaho look
very light, generally less than an inch so will not issue a winter
weather advisory. However, with the falling snow levels we need to
think about overnight lows. A freeze watch remains in effect for the
upper Snake Plain where Tuesday morning lows in the lower 30s remain
likely. The cold air will persist into Wednesday morning where much
of the Snake Plain and maybe even portions of the Magic Valley could
see lows in the lower 30s. Will hold off on a freeze watch for
Wednesday morning for now as we are currently gushing headlines, but
something to expect.

.LONG TERM...Wednesday through next Sunday...A very chilly morning
is expected Wednesday with temperatures at and below the freezing
mark for the upper snake plain, Arco desert, Island Park area, east
highlands,Stanley Basin, Wood River Area and other valley locations.
This may be a very early hard freeze already, but it is just a
little to early to make to that call quite yet. Snow showers look to
have ended for all areas by Wednesday and clearing conditions are
forecast for the remainder of the week. High pressure will gradually
build in from the west with mid 70s or low 80 degree temperatures
for highs. Similar conditions are forecast over the weekend.

.AVIATION...Expect breezy conditions to diminish this evening.
Smoke across the region may lower visibilities once again tonight.
For now, continuing to forecast vfr conditions but may need to
amend. Expect strong winds to develop Monday afternoon across the
region with showers possible along a cold front.

.FIRE WEATHER...Red Flag Warnings will remain in effect until 9 pm
this evening for much of the area, including 422,410,425,427 and
413. Temperatures are much cooler today compared to yesterday but we
will are expected to see similar dry and windy conditions as
yesterday.

Tomorrow is an entirely different weather set-up and much attention
should be paid to it. An abnormally strong back door cold front will
pass through our forecast area tomorrow afternoon and evening.
Though RH values are marginal for some areas; the winds alone are
far too dangerous to ignore. Increasing northerly winds are forecast
starting across 411 mid-afternoon then spread quickly into the
northern portions of 410 at 35 to 45 mph with gusts around 55 mph.
These winds will track southward through 410, 425 and 413 with
similar speeds forecast throughout the afternoon and evening. As a
result, Red Flag Warnings will be in effect. Ahead of these winds,
it should also be noted that strong (But not as strong) westerly
winds are forecast around 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph. These winds
would occur until the northerly winds take over, impacting 425, 427
and portions of 413. A shower or thunderstorm may accompany the
frontal passage, but is likely to be sparse in coverage. High
elevation snow also remains in the forecast behind the frontal
passage going into Tuesday morning.

Cooler temperatures and light winds are in store for Tuesday with
high pressure gradually building in from the west.

.AIR STAGNATION...Smoke or haze is filtering through Central and
Southeast Idaho today; resulting from local and regional wildfires
to the west. This smoke/haze will persist through the remainder of
the day/evening and again settle under the inversion tonight. A few
areas are likely to be spared from seeing much impact though; which
would include areas bordering Wyoming/Idaho such as Bear Lake and
the Palisades. We would look for conditions to clear late tomorrow
after the passage of a very strong back door cold front.
